FIFTY YEARS WITH THE R.G.S.
MR. REEVES AND THE EXPLORERS.
There can be few people outside a comparatively small circle of ex
plorers who know more about the remoter parts of the world than does Mr. Edward A. Reeves, map curator and instructor in practical astronomy and surveying, of the Royal Geographical Society, who is to be presented with ite Victoria
Gold Medal.
NEW YORK, June 12th. "If our men catch up with them' it will be a battle to the death." was Chief Detective O'Grady's grim comment when informed that five desperate criminals had escaped from Dupage county gaol, near Chicago.

"DISGRACE TO THE NAVY.”
DIVORCE JUDGE AND AN OFFICER HUSBAND.
When Mr. Reeves was appointed to his present position he edited the new edition of "Hints to Travellers," the Society's guide book. He has also been respon sible, in addition to his notes and papers, for the Society's paper, for an interesting volume on maps and map-making. In addition to his services to the Society, he has ren- dered valuable assistance to foreign Powers, for which he has received official recognition. In 1919 he was made a Chevalier of the Order of the Crown by the King of the Bel- gians, chiefly for writing on Survey subjects, some of which were trage-

It is, interesting to note that the presentation of the Victoria Gold Medal to Mr. Reeves will be an honour of more than usual signific ance, for it is not a periodical occurrence, but one which is made on almost rare occasions.
